@JourdanRodrigue @greggrosenthal Congratulations - though if this means less Jourdan on HTC then it’s very sad news too…

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@RevRichardColes Surely language is only useful in so far as it reduces ambiguity. Which means basing usage on the most widely-understood meaning of any particular word (ie those listed first in dictionaries).

@premierinn Please can you add some extra signage for the entrance at your Camden Hub hotel - as a visually impaired traveler I found this very disconcerting to arrive to in the dark last night. (But I’m sure it might be for sighted guests too..). Cheers. (Hotel itself was great)

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@StagecoachBBird Cheers. It’s here now.

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@StagecoachBBird Hi. You posted earlier that the X8 was serving Newtonhill “as normal” - but the one that was due shortly before 8am has not arrived yet. Any idea of an eta? Lots of people waiting for it.

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@JordanaSeal @RetinaUK So sorry @JordanaSeal - only just spotted this. Hope you found a contact OK. Drop me a line if you’re still looking for anything.

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

I’ll never tire of seeing THAT face - and while John is sadly no longer with us, the amazing work by @RetinaUK the pic was taken in aid of goes on and still needs your support. Please consider a festive donation to help save people’s sight. https://t.co/Kfrtpp5K2W #RP

@HMRCcustomers Hi Steve. It was self-assessment. Tried a few times and got error messages but went back a while later and it was OK.

@DanHanzus So, about that business trip your newly-reconciled live-in love interest went on: is this the football equivalent of you turning up at the conference hotel to surprise them, only to find them in bed with a colleague, laughing about how naive you are?!

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@diggy_diggler @ConorOrr @MarcSessler My point is: how do you become well known. By being particularly good at what you do. So to some degree at least he gets this advantage because of his talent.

@bbctms What’s the highest first innings score by a Test team that went on to lose by an innings?

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org?

This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster..

@caitlinmoran I used to find it very amusing back in the day, when they gave out gifts to people who reached landmark donations, that the pinnacle of these was…a decanter!

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@Nataliealana87 @caitlinmoran Literally came on to say just this!

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

🚨This is the story of how UK & EU goods are STILL going into Russia in vast quantities, despite sanctions.
Of how the economic war waged by the G7 is failing.
Of how I witnessed sanctions rules broken in plain sight.
But above all else it’s the story of a chart... 🧵

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

What’s this now? Advertisers getting to pick the captains?! :-) 😜

@MarcSessler please never stop not giving a shit about the “too much Jets / Browns / Titans” stuff - your passion for your teams is the fuel that makes the pod fly - and informs your takes on everything else. (Oh and this from a Dolphins fan, so…) @DanHanzus @titansfilmroom @HeedTheCallPod

[Joe Churcher @JoeChurcher]

@bbctms @BBCSounds @BBCSport Very interesting segment on SACA but disappointing to hear Aggers suggest south Asians are somehow “lucky” to have more help than others - after hearing the stark numbers that show the additional hurdles they face and that make that help necessary in the first place.
